Iraq and Syria to Complete Al-Qa’im Railway

A new agreement will see Iraq and Syria work together to complete the Al-Qa’im railway line and increase trade between the two countries, reports AKnews.

The Iraqi Railways Company signed an agreement this week with Syrian Railways to construct the remainder of the railway line to reach the Iraqi border in the Al-Qa’im area, which will be linked with the Iraqi line at the end of this year.

This will result in two railway ports for Iraq and Syria, the other port being in Rabei.
